The Accounting Onion
The Accounting Onion takes a different approach to their posts, focusing on trends in financial reporting, analysis and auditing, “peeling away issues one layer at a time”.

The blog is written by Tom Selling, accounting consultant and recognised industry leader. Tom uses his experience to inject a new lease of life into these otherwise dull topics.
In the words of Steve Jobs, “There’s always one more thing to learn”, so keep proactive and spend some time each week to read a couple of articles – it’s an investment you can expect to see some great returns from. And if the above isn’t enough to keep you occupied, why not try something a bit meatier? Our ultimate guide to marketing for accounting firms is available for free – check it out here.
